Yes exactly, but there is nothing wrong with that, mathematicians do
it all the time. The conclusion is that Hermione has forgiven Harry,
in fact she doesn't even think it's something that needs forgiving;
thus the premise, that the Unforgivable Curse's name should be taken
literally is incorrect. QED.

I consider myself one of the good guys and my moral vision is clear
enough that unlike you I feel no need to put it in quotation marks;
but if I was in a war and had experienced half of what Harry had I
would be one hell of a lot less gentle with the enemy than Harry was.
I'm not saying that's anything to be especially proud of, but that's
the way real flesh and blood people behave and I don't believe JKR
would have written a better book if Harry acted like a cowboy in a
white hat in a 1930's western movie or a Saturday morning cartoon
superhero.

Harry first used an "Unforgivable" in book 5 and then again in book 6,
so you must think Hermione hated Harry for 2 books and then stopped
doing so in book 7, and that you see as inconsistent. Being as polite
as I can I must say I find that an odd way to view the books.
